Well Muhab Samer,<br />
I wish you well and hope you can connect with like minded people where you live.<br />
The more of you that can support one another, the more you have a group prescence, the more people will join you.<br />
Most people like you are afraid to let other people know how you feel for fear of persecution and intimidation.<br />
By joining a group like this I hope you'll be able to find friends local to you.<br />

Dear Yemeni, judging from your grammar and your English, it seems to be that you're raised in the West. Nevertheless, your words speak of wisdom and truth, Ut must be tough to be living in the a place where no one understands you.<br />
<br />
I'm from Yemen as well but live in the Uk. I'm not an Atheist but more of a Buddhist, still my family don't know about it.<br />
<br />
If you need any advice/help let me know.<br />
<br />
Wishing you the best!

Muhab Sameer,<br />
It is so frustrating that in the modern era, with science, education, communication technology, that people continue to force religion on others. You have my greatest respect. I gave up religion too, but it was much easier for me than for you because there were places for me to go and people who I know who were nonreligious. Ironically, part of that occurred when I was in Turkey, which is MUslim but a little more free than Yemen.<br />

Be careful, the forces of Islam have no mercy. But…

Yeah, that sounds like Christianity, up until 200 or 300 years ago. Honestly, it probably hasn't even been that long.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite quotes from Martin Luther is "Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding." If they could, Christianity would have us back in the dark ages.<br />

Europe just had the advantage of becoming more secular earlier on, due to the political abuses of the Catholic church. Honestly, it probably wasn't for any secular, rational reasons, just that the monarchs of Europe grew weary of having the Pope come in and interfere with the rule of their countries. Islam can't become more moderate until it stops having theocracies in which to hide. thanks Daneel,

I ll try to get a tourist visa to any European country, then I’ll seek help there and explain my status, I will seek their humanity to grant me a permanent stay. Replying to your wondering, how i am an atheist inside a sea of believers!! I agree with you. I am not the only atheist there is a big number of atheists here, but they don't show themselves, second, the nonsense, illogic, and irrational things in Islam have made me irreligious, or unbeliever. There is no free reason in Islam, mind can't work independently or freely at all, that is ban or against Allah "God". Mind must work only through or within the religion’s text, if Mind try to work normally according to its nature Muslims prevent it from doing that ,and force it to work only through Quran and Mohamad's sayings. Everyword in Quran and Mohamad's sayings are irrational and against Reason at the same time are full of contradictions, any body can disclose that, but they can't say frankly because of the islamic deadly powers , tyranny, domination and control. When I was a child, they used to teach me quran in pre-primary schools, (primitive, dirty ,old or neglected and deserted mosques dedicated to teaching only quran by force and violence, if a boy disobey to learn quran and not memorize it fully, he is beaten strongly by the quran's terrifying instructor, in the meanwhile I used not to accept that case psychologically and rationally, while learning and memorizing Quran by force and under beating , I used to pretend of learning, while reading and learning quran , my mind tells me that is lies, lies, lies, lies, nonsense, nonsense, unreasonable, unreasonable, irrational, irrational, against nature, against nature, and so on , I am an atheist sence birth , since the early childhood and awareness, I never believed in Allah or Mohammad or quran, i never went to mosques , I got a lot of parental and society punishment , but i never could accept religion. muhab samer, Im glad you foun…tag:atheistnexus.org,2010-09-21:2182797:Comment:9832472010-09-21T09:02:48.890ZDaniel Whttp://atheistnexus.org/profile/Daniel62301

No western experience can compare in severity to yours in Yemen. I think the only answer for you is to find a way to emigrate. Millions of people do, and change will not come in Yemen soon. The situation is too severe to stay if you…

Meanwhile, finding people on line will help you feel less alone.<br />

Yeah, I guess. Wow. Even in Texas, the cities are much more liberal. I'd expect better than that, in a university. There are atheists running around all over the place, down here, and I'm technically in the freaking Bible Belt.

*nods* Precisely. I have to be careful where I utter the word 'atheist'. I've gotten dirty looks/comments when talking about these things in public...even among peers in university. The comment 'well, you've got to believe in SOMETHING' has come up on more than one occasion. Do keep in mind I live in what's nicknamed the 'Texas of Canada'.
